The year 2024 is expected to be marked by a significant number of elections across the globe, with over 50 countries, including India, the United States, and the European Union, heading to the polls. Geopolitical tensions are also on the rise, with escalating conflicts and territorial disputes. Notably, Venezuela has renewed its claim for a disputed part of Guyanese territory rich in oil and minerals, leading the UK to send a naval ship to Guyana. Additionally, a century-old territorial dispute between Guyana and Venezuela has been exacerbated by the discovery of oil, raising the specter of potential military confrontation over the mineral-rich Essequibo territory.
